Where can i find them in Thailand stores? please....thomas

if every goes on holiday to thailand you'll get more deaths in Thailand. What about relative numbers compared to the number of aussies living and coming to thailand. Wonder if it still hits the number 1 position then. Just reporting a number doesn't mean anything.... More people have died in China last year than in Luxemburg, no shit, China has about 10000 times more people.

they all died of constipation?

I live out in the sticks in Loei..\Recently have had my bank card cloned pin number stolen and over £900mtaken from my acct.I am still waiting to hear from my bsnk,,So just a warning.. I have no idea how they do this but will in future be extra careful.I just want people to be aware of this scam and be extra vigilant.I am sure it must be even more prevalant in tourist towns and Bkk. .no need to reply with any clever jibes or witicisms..\thanks.

work permit for starts,married to a thai would help.

I'm almost sure this would come under a restricted occupation.you would never be given a permit(.legally.)..........

If you are retired and on a low pension, then 6 million baht(125,000USD) of annuities would give you 21,000 baht a month guaranteed income for the rest of your life (not sure if you can buy annuities in Thailand or not though- in which case you could buy the Genting Singapore Casino's perpetual bonds would give a similar monthly return (but through two 6 monthly payments) it has 5.1% return (and with 15% of Singapore population being millionaires looks to be a good biz to invest in).

Alternatively, i would put 1-2 million baht into ADVANC (ais stock) and 500k-1 million baht in KBANK, the rest in gold.

6 million baht $125,000?????????????? I would trust you as my financial advisor..............not

Infrastructure- agreed it will take time.

Professionalism? Do me a favour.

Murders, hotel fires, scams, ruined beaches, polution, rubbish, riots, floods, lawlessness etc. Will also play their part.

Enough about Thailand.............................the topic is about Burma

No it isn't.I would say its much more about Thialand than Burma.MO

.....and did Mr Peter (the Frenchman) have a WP for working in a bar?

Over the past few years, I have seen the numbers increasing of young(er), under-the-influence hot heads making their way to Isaan, starting problems and then complaining when problems are resolved Thai-style (no, there are no rules of combat or diplomatic resolution) when it comes to hot headed Farangs mouthing off and swinging their arms in bars and restaurants.

I am pretty sure he (Peter) is the co-owner of the bar, legal under the Thai system - Thai Co-owner also works in the bar.

The deceased is a loosely connected friend of mine, it turns out, that I knew under a different name (her English name). We (along with a larger group of friends who get together when I am in Udon) used to play snooker together with other friends at Phon Tattoo bar, in one of the Sois near to the night market. A popular place where teachers, night people, and married couples come to relax and shoot a few 8 balls and sink a few brews. "Solicitation" is banned at this bar, and the owner is the only woman who works at the bar, with her husband, an exceptional tattooist.

To those that are critical of the lifestyle that the deceased lived, please understand you should walk a path and understand that not everyone has choices, before you judge her. In Udon, this lifestyle is not a contract to earn as it may be in other areas, many girls do this because they cannot get work anywhere else.. Isaan does is not exactly short of low skilled workers.

I ask, Mr. Michael made the choice to give her money - correct? Most men coming to these parts know that women working in bars can almost never be taken for their word, she took his money, he took her life. Friendship, and above all trust-relationships, are built over long periods of time between Thais, not in minutes as it may be in the clubs of the west. Which is the greater loss? His money or her life?

RIP Nat.

so your sayin this guys innocent and Mr Michael killed her?

wait pavements are for pedestrians to walk?

This is a novel approach. Maybe it really is Miracle Year in Amazing Thailand...

I really would like all motorbikes to just follow road rules and stop thinking that because they are small normal road rules don't apply to them...

Please show me the law that prohibits motorcycles from riding on the sidewalk, as I'm pretty sure it is 100% legal.

yes and while your on please show ME the law thats says I cant ride my motorcycle and juggle empty bottles of Heinikin at the same time....

I never heard this 1 before so maybe some1 can put me right...I was told open company keep 36% of shares for myself..then give 2 Thais the other64%...32% each..Alo have them sign a loan saying I am lending them the money to buy the shares in my company..If they default on the loan when and if i call it in they must give back the shares..Anyone heard of this..Is it a possibility.I should say this is 2 rai of land to build a house..Thank for replies.....thomas

you cannot do anything well without practise.. also live in a small eesarn town and have no option nut to speak Thai every day,evening in the market...I write things down..prtactise the tones and making sentences with new vocabulary..My Thai is ok....Recently just starting to read and write so your way ahead of me on that I have been to www.learningthai.com

I recommend this site..good luck

Yeah Bull**** indeed I seem to remember a famous quote 'if all the economists were laid end to end they still wouldn't reach a conclusion'

looks like i'm spending new year in NB..Any decent hotel recommendations or farang type bars?Thank you for all replies..Thomas

I wonder if the 915 "volunteers" are Thai or Khmer/Burmese ?

How could they be?..The authorities would not possibly have time to expedite the work permits...

Hi ,anyone here used any native species,preferably looking good and growing high to deter intruders..I.e. with spikes or thorns..I am building and don't want to put up walls and barbed wire.makes the hse look like a POW camp..Thank you in advance for any replies..Thomas

farang looking for work possibly with Thai company or hotel chain..Is it possible in Thailand?

Hi can anyone help recommend a book backed up by cds.from beginner level..The student speaks a little but I want to load cds on ipod for regular listening on the move..thanks in advance..thomas

If she thinks she is going to get rid of 80% in a year I would like to know what she is smoking.

well let's just aim for one percent to be safe and sure we meet the target eh........jesus I wonder what line of business you are in.......

I think Jesus is part of the religion business...

Do they just pluck these figure from thin air..each piece was worth an avge of 2600 baht...I know there are many Thais who want to pay full price for everything ,and many Thias sthat want you to pay more than the full price for everything...It will never stop..Too much money being made and presumably paid.....

Nice work, but shouldn't the NCCC have bigger priorities than hunting for film festival bribery?

This seems kinda small compared to the real corruption dirt that is floating around in LOS.

For sure, but 54M Baht ain't small potatoes! At least it's a start. Good for them!

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step (quote..Some Chinese bloke)I agree with you but

I'm afraid its mostly posturing.I hope I am wrong for Thai people themselves.It seems to be engrained in most of us ,corruption,greed,

recently in the UK with Murdoch and his cohorts..The biggest copper in UK resigns.Maybe we can't change,but at least let's admit it's not only wrong but affects all those lower down the food chain.I wish them well in their efforts.

Any recommendations please..Up to 1500 baht with breakfast.Pool would be nice too.Also near the bars nightlife if possible(girl friendly)thank you in advance.Thomas

2 brits wanting to go Myanmar in October for 2 week holiday..My question is is the visa easy enough to make at the embassy in Bkk?How long does it take and any thoughts as to how I can get US dollars in Bkk to as I am told there are no atms in Myanmar..thank you in advance..thomas

My question is with the ASEAN block and its stated aim of free flow of good and people within it(2015),does this mean that we will see cheaper cars maybe and electrical items coming from the likes of Singapore...If this be the case then how will Thailand make up it's lost tax revenue?thanks for your views..thomas

Strangely, I don't totally disagree with your assessment of his performance, and I also understand you have the right to say whatever you want about him, and the right to call him names, or make slurs about his origins, etc. However, it just puts you in the same category as the other wingnuts and assorted losers who act like kindergarteners, calling names, and saying, na,n,na,n,na,na.. Grow up, and maybe someone of substance will pay attention to you. I still think the holder of the office of the President of the USA deserves some respect. Ask yourself this: would you say those things directly to his face? You wouldn't to mine, and be able to walk away...

So many 'keyboard warriors', sh*t oh dear!

Your a contradiction..........You make posts telling me not to call folks names all the while calling names yourself like....nitwits,wingnuts,etc...

Then make a claim of being able to do something your not capable of & then immediately calling others keyboard warriors????

Puleeze ..It is only your fingers making promises your body cant fulfill

Grow up........If you have something about the topic to say then post it....Your not the hall monitor.

And Yes I do say in real life & on the computer what fits.....It would be the same if I were talking to Zobama, you or anyone's face if the shoe fits.

I totally agree but wouldn't say it to his face for the fear of his wrath.....

I am unable to get current visa rqrmts..Can anyone please tell me ...is VOA finished?Is it relatively simple to make a visa in The Myanmar Embassy Bangkok.We will be travelling independantly..I.E not through a travel agency....thank you in advance..Thomas

2 Uk Citizens going to Myanmar in 6 weeks.. My question ...is it hassle free to go to the Myanmar embassy in Bkk and get the visas or can anyone recommend an agent we can leave the passports and pick up next day..Many thanks for all replies..thomas
